Teddington Lock

Teddington Lock is a complex of three locks on the River Thames between Ham and Teddington in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, Middlesex, England. The lock was first built in 1810, and it was rebuilt in 1857; in 1889, the Teddington Lock Footbridges opened, replacing a ferry across the river. In 1940, a large flotilla of ships was assembled at Teddington Lock for use in the Dunkirk evacuation during World War II.
